So when an executive says something notable it isn’t plastered all over gaming forums and Twitter? How people discuss and share their impressions. You think that won’t translate at all into the real world with friends? Please...don’t be so naive.

Again, MS said their stance in January. Sony said the exact same thing before their console launched. That to me is BS. 

Sony never once claimed nor implied there wouldn’t be cross gen games.

Doesn’t take much to understand that studios didn’t stop working just to wait for PS5 dev kits. Many already had games in development for the PS4 and started making a PS5 version after getting dev kits. No reason to twist this into some kind of stupid foul play on Sony’s part. You are the one creating this narrative that Sony somehow lied, by twisting their words and intentions, because you revel in spreading FUD and creating discord between each console’s fanbases.

You are correct. Sony never outright said it, but based on these news articles (and comments) the confusion was certainly there and they did nothing to correct it. Btw, I'm surprised you don't remember this because you actually commented in one of those news articles, and that was not that long ago.

Well Several media and people have been saying about lack of power, SSD being worse than an external disk, console not ready, consoles burning in manufacturing, overheat issue on bestbuy, and several other bad rumors about PS5. Sony didn't answered any of those, so why do you think they would for this one?

That's not the point. The point is that Hynad is acting like he, and many others, were never caught up in the misunderstanding and that they always knew that all these games were coming to PS4. Heck, he is acting like he didn't even know there was a misunderstanding. As if we were not here to read his comments back then. That was less than two months ago for God's sake.

Your point had complain that Sony didn't clarified on people spreading news how they see fit and fans acting one way or another. Sony haven't talked much this year on any subject so there is no point in wanting they to go and talk more about this specific one. Even BC they have posted very few and got a lot of flack and miss reports and complains. So if you want to focus on how Hynad acted them focus on his action not on Sony saying what you want to hear.
